i - eyes on the sun -
this ship is going down / and not for the flames or the water coming on
it's just put together all wrong
we crissed where we should have crossed / we stiched where we should have stopped
and now it's all sinking fast
and now it's time to see how well we swim / and now it's time to see how well we brave the cold
and now it's time to see if we can hold on / and now its time to see how strong we can be
i can feel the darkness cover me / i can feel the monsters watching me
i can feel the darkness cover me / i can feel the monsters bare thier teeth
and we just have to hold on to hope / we just have to keep our eyes on the sun
ii - rain into oceans -
i would attempt to make angels / but they'd never look a thing like you
the language that youve have perfected / eludes me still
when will we stop writing of love / drop the pen and make it happen
how long we we be writing of love / let's drop the pen and make it happen
only so many connections / can be made from inside our heads
there is more than the one world / you hold in your hand
we're two people calling / out in the same direction
and all of these words rain into oceans / where no one is sailing
iii - hannah -
hannah you haunt me / and not so much you but this one thing you said
and i'll always wonder exactaly what you meant
was a trick or was it a lie / was the truth or was it a secret she hid from herself
why would you say that to me / hannah you haunt me
it was just one moment on a flight of stairs / i forget if i was coming up or going down
and hannah you haunt me
iv - symbiote -
sometimes i resign to myself / that we will never be all i want
sometimes i admit to myself / that it may be all of my fault
sometimes i confer to myself / that we will never see eye to eye now
sometimes i convince of myself / that you are all i will ever need
i need you to do everything for / i need you to be everything for / i need you to change everything for / me
sometimes i allow myself to / believe that all this makes sense
sometimes i implore myself to / forget all about you
and thats not fair
v - labyrinth -
i'm headed north / and taking the long way / i'm going to see you / today is your birthday
i'm playing childhood games / to keep my mind at bay
and i'm just so excited to see you / i'm trying not to get there to early
and i'm just so excited to see you / i'm trying so hard not to give myself away
it's not that i don't want to talk / but i know how you hate big crowds
so i'll give you your space / and you don't take it the wrong way
and how long will i play these childhood games / before i think of something important to say
i just want you to know / the red will fade / but i won't
welcome to my heart it is a labyrinth / i'd give you the tour
but there's to many doors / and i don't know my way just yet
welcome to my heart it is a labyrinth / i'd give you the tour
but i'm not quite sure / of my way just yet
vi - shine -
there are so many bad ideas caught up in my head / it gets hard to decide what it good for me
i talk to myself all day long / and never have anything interesting to say
when will it be my time to shine / when will i find the fire inside
i say i have goals / and i hope i have dreams
but my only real plan is to wait for the sun to explode and carry me away
maybe it's time / to take the time / to look inside / and find out what it takes / to make my light shine
vii - sphere -
i guess we just have to start from the start / and end when we end
theres no way to jump ahead / theres no way to start again
of course we all end in the same place / but is this a game where it's better to be first or to be last
one of us is on a shortcut / the other is standing still / or maybe it the other or the other or the other
i've got it all the wrong way around / can't tell which way up or which way down
we live in circles / where sometimes pushing further gets us closer / and pulling gets us nowhere at all
i wonder who will hear these songs / and what connections will be made
i wonder will you hear these songs / and feel the same
viii - schema -
what would it take to know / the color of the fish that are swimming in your head
i would really like to know / what exactaly your feeding them
i would really love to know / what they wisper to you in the night
i would give anything to know / if the beast in your heart gives in without a fight
ix - parallax -
in hearing you sing for the first time / had there been water between us
i would have swam out to that sirens song
it seems i'm drowning still / immersed in darkness / somehow i can feel your light
x - winter -
the winter finnally came / even though we had our doubts / i drive by clam shacks and ice cream stands
with boarded up windows and handmade signs / that make me think of you
they make me think of you and all the things you've said
the snow fell hard on saint valentines day / and watching the blizzard dance outside my window
i'm dreamt of calling you up / to ask if you were doing the same
i wondered if sharing a moment / twenty miles apart / could ever be considered intimate
can you feel it when i listen to your ghost / and it sings, and it sing, and it sings
in the deep white-gray snow covered sky / i can see every space we've ever shared
in the deep white-gray snow covered sky / i can hear every word we've ever shared
we are alone in the same room / and yet we never accept so well written invitations
